"What do you mean you will look into it ? why not look into it now!?"Adam shouted at the police officer they where talking to. Back when Lex had found Adam with his mother's body, he had spent sometime trying comfort him even though he was also feeling the pain. They then called the police only to wait the whole night to be told : 'we will look into it'.
Lex really liked Mrs Jones but the amount of pain he was feeling was not normal. He had learnt that he and Adam somehow shared emotions, according to his father's hypothesis. He didn't know if it's a fraction of the emotions or if it's all of them. However Lex guessed that it was a fraction otherwise he would also be as angry as Adam at the incompetence of their police.
"Im sorry sir but there are also other cases we have to investigate" the officer said "We will contact you when we find something"
"Wh----"
"Come on bro let's go get some rest we'll come back later" Lex said as he put his hands on Adam's shoulders. Adam reluctantly followed him to the door after starring daggers at the police officer.
The boys went to the dorm room and Lex forced Adam to sleep a little bit. It was not that hard as they where both exhausted. They both fell asleep immediately and then woke up at about 1300 hours in the afternoon.
The mood was gloomy as Lex cooked up some noodles and dished for himself an Adam with a piece of 'meat' on the side. Adam had not said anything since they woke up and as he just bit into his meat with a blank expression.
All of a sudden Lex's phone rang.
"Hey babe" he answered.
"Hey you guys are an hour late! where are you?" Linda's voice sounded on the other end.
"Im sorry we won't be able to make it" Lex replied as he glanced at Adam who was slowly eating with a blank look.
"What!? why what happened?"
"Well-----" before Lex could explain the situation to Linda Adam made a sound signal for Lex to look his way. Then he slowly shook his head. Lex knew right away what that meant.
"It's nothing serious, we just came up with some illness" Lex lied.
"Both of you?"
"Yes i think it's contagious" He said.
"Okay then we are coming to take care of you guys are you both at the dorm or at Adam's place? Linda asked.
"No please don't come, I don't want you guys to catch what we have" Lex faked a cough.
"You sure ?"
"Yes I'm sure. Tell Tina Adam says hie" Lex said as he hung up. He then picked up his plate and continued eating.
"Let's do it ourselves." Adam suddenly said. Lex had a large chunk of meat in his mouth so he quickly chewed, swallowed then asked
"Do what ?"
"Find my mother's killers.....and kill them" Adam said casually as he licked some leftover blood off his plate.
"What !? seriously?" Lex said as he also finished up his food. Lex couldn't believe what Adam just said.
"The police are going to take forever to find them if they will even bother to investigate. These humans think they could kill my mother and get away with it...well they made a big mistake" Adam said with conviction seeping out of his eyes.
'He referred to people as 'humans' that easily', Lex noticed that Adam's personality changed after he got his hybrid status , just like how he himself once was. Lex started to wonder if Adam also had a 'dragon mode' inside of him.
{Every magical beasts have a beast side. It is kind of like a alter personality that is responsible for the violent side. It is the personality which takes over when you get too angry or hungry} Xen explained
{So has that personality taken over Adam right now} Lex asked.
{No.. if it had taken over, Adam would be attacking everything in sight} Xen said {It almost came out that time when he had just finished evolving}
{Right now I would say Adam is 30% beast, 70% ....Adam } Xen finished his short lesson.
Lex mentally nodded to Xen before turning his attention to Adam. He wanted to advise him to leave everything to the investigators, however he knew exactly how Adam felt. Firstly because his parents where also killed, he had even vowed to one day destroy the military.
Secondly because he could feel Adam's emotions and he knew that Adam was going to go ahead with his investigation whether he helped or not. Lex knew the danger involved in what Adam was prepared to do.
'If you can't stop them, join them' Lex thought.
{I don't think that's how the saying goes} Xen interrupted Lex's thoughts.
"I will help you by being with you to make sure you don't do anything you will regret" Lex firmly said.
"Of course you are" Adam smiled.
"Okay so.... what's first" Lex questioned.
"First we watch Magnum PI" Adam said as he stood and went to Lex's PC.
"What !?" Lex said as he put their dirty dishes in the sink before pulling a chair to sit next to Adam.
"It's a program which used to air on TV about 120 years ago" Adam explained
After 40 episodes of Magnum PI.
"Next episode!" Lex said with excitement in his eyes
"Nope, I'm sure after 40 episodes we now know the basics. Our time is limited" Adam stretched his arms while releasing a yawn.
"Ok so according to the show, what's the next part ?" Adam asked.
Lex thought for a few seconds before replying "We go to the scene of the crime"
"Quick learner, let's go" Adam complemented.
The detective duo arrived at Adam's house not long after. The time was around midnight but that was not an issue for Lex and Adam, they could see as clear as day.
After ducking under the police line and slowly opening the door , Lex and Adam entered and started looking around. They first noticed that the door was not broken into and nothing was missing from the house as Adam confirmed.
They then made their way into the room where the body was found and as expected, the police had taken it away. There where no signs of struggle in the room.
"She knew her killers" Lex observed.
"Wait Adam, why was she in your room anyway" Lex asked
"I dunno... maybe to clean or something " Adam said, not really taking the question seriously as he continued to look around.
"Then why is it so dusty" Lex inquired as he ran his finger over a table.
Adam started to pay more attention to Lex after that discovery. He also noticed that a pair of headphones he had left on the floor, they where still in the exact same spot.
"If she didn't come here to clean, why was she here ?" Lex wondered
"What if her killers brought her here , but why would they want to kill her from my room ?"Adam hypothesized.
"We need more information" Lex said " If only we had someone to hack into police headquarters and get the autopsy report"
"Since we don't have that, we will need to do things the old fashioned way" Adam remarked.
"And what is this old fashioned way?"
Adam smiled before casually saying "We will break into the police headquarters and steal the autopsy report."
